Tacos
Marinate pork or beef shoulder or chuck (whatever is cheap) overnight. I use Kroger brand marinade, Chipotle Lime. Cook in a crock pot until meat is very tender. Sometimes I'll get chicken and do it on the grill and shred it if I'm short on time. Simple ground beef cooked in garlic, onions and some lemon with taco seasoning is just fine too.
I like to use corn tortillas. I'll wrap them up in a wet paper towel and microwave them until they're soft and warm. I also like to fry up my own shells--no store bought tacos at our house. Just heat up oil and dip a tortilla half way into oil until crispy. Flip it over and cook the other side, making sure to hold the shell up so you can stuff it. Sprinkle with salt.
Serve with salsa, sour cream, cilantro, finely minced onion, tomatoes, cheese, lime wedges and a coke :) If you're doing al pastor style (soft corn tortilla) the cilantro, onions and lime are a must.
